A beautiful, balanced smile is about more than just your teeth; it's also about the frame. If you feel your teeth look too short or you show too much gum (a "gummy smile"), gum contouring offers a fast and highly effective solution. Choosing gum contouring in Turkey allows you to access this advanced Pink Esthetic treatment, often using painless lasers, at a fraction of the cost you would pay in the UK or USA.
Explore our gum contouring before and after gallery to see how our cosmetic dentists in Antalya create more balanced, symmetrical, and beautiful smiles.
The gum contouring price in Turkey is significantly lower than in other Western countries. We use the same, if not more advanced, laser technology to perform the procedure with maximum precision and comfort, all while offering substantial savings.
Below is a general price comparison for gum contouring with laser:
| Procedure Type | Turkey (Estimate €) | UK / Europe / USA (Estimate €) |
|---|---|---|
| Laser Gum Contouring (Full Arch) | €300 - €600 | €2,000 - €3,500+ |
| Laser Gum Contouring (Per Tooth) | €50 - €100 | €150 - €400+ |
Please note these are estimated starting prices. The final cost depends on the complexity and whether it's combined with other treatments like veneers. For a precise, all-inclusive quote, please request a free, personalized consultation.
Also known as a gingivectomy or gum reshaping, it is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves removing or reshaping excess or uneven gum tissue. For patients with a "gummy smile," this procedure removes excess tissue to make the teeth appear longer and more proportionate. For patients with an uneven gum line, it sculpts the gums to create a more symmetrical and harmonious frame for the smile. This procedure is a cornerstone of Pink Esthetic and is often the first step in a Smile Makeover or Hollywood Smile transformation.
Our gum contouring procedure uses advanced laser technology for a painless, non-invasive experience:
Your dentist will discuss your aesthetic goals with you. We will evaluate your smile and mark the new, ideal gum line that best complements your teeth and lips.
The area is numbed with a topical gel, followed by small local anaesthetic injections. You will not feel anything during the procedure.
We use a precise diode laser for gum contouring with laser. The laser energy instantly and gently vaporizes the excess gum tissue, sculpting it to the new, pre-planned line. The laser simultaneously seals the tissue, resulting in minimal to no bleeding and no need for stitches.
The area is rinsed, and you can see the results immediately. Your teeth will look longer, and your smile will appear more balanced right away.
| Benefits | Drawbacks (gum contouring side effects) |
|---|---|
| Instantly Corrects "Gummy Smile" | Irreversible: The gum tissue does not grow back, so the procedure must be planned carefully. |
| Creates a Symmetrical Smile Line | Temporary Sensitivity: Gums may be slightly tender or sore for a few days after the procedure. |
| Makes Teeth Look Longer (gum contouring for small teeth) | Slight Swelling: Minor, temporary swelling or redness of the gum margins is possible. |
| Painless Procedure: Done under local anaesthesia. | Not a Solution for All Cases: If the "gummy smile" is caused by jaw position, more complex surgery may be needed. |
| Fast Recovery: The gum contouring healing time is very quick, especially with a laser. | |
| No Stitches, No Bleeding: The laser provides a clean, fast-healing result. |
You are an ideal candidate for gum contouring if you:
No. The procedure is performed under effective local anaesthesia, so you will feel nothing. Afterwards, the area may feel slightly tender for a day or two, often described as similar to a minor pizza burn on the roof of your mouth.
The gum contouring price is very affordable. A full-arch reshaping in Turkey can cost between €300 - €600, compared to thousands in the US or UK.
With a laser, healing is very fast. You can resume normal activities immediately. Your gums may be slightly tender for 24-48 hours, and the final, healed appearance is typically seen in 1-2 weeks.
No. The gum tissue that is removed by the laser is gone permanently. This makes it a very reliable, one-time procedure.
Side effects are very rare and minor. They can include temporary gum sensitivity or slight swelling for a few days. Infection is extremely unlikely with a laser.
Yes, for most cosmetic cases. The laser is more precise, causes no bleeding, does not require stitches, and the recovery time is significantly faster and more comfortable.
We recommend brushing gently for the first few days and rinsing with a salt-water or antiseptic mouthwash. You should avoid very spicy or abrasive foods for 24-48 hours.
They are often the same thing. Gum Contouring is the procedure of reshaping the gums. Gummy Smile Correction is the treatment that uses gum contouring to fix the aesthetic issue of a "gummy smile."
Sometimes, the gum tissue can become inflamed and overgrown (hyperplasia) during orthodontic treatment. After the braces are removed, gum contouring is used to return the gums to their normal, healthy shape.
Yes, it is a very common combination. We perform the gum contouring before or during the veneer preparation, which allows us to design your new veneers to fit the new, perfect gum line.
In dentistry, high-resolution photographs are taken to evaluate the patient’s existing tooth structure and facial aesthetics. These photos are used to document and analyze the condition, color, and shape of the teeth and their harmony with the patient’s face.
Why is it important? Professional photographs help dentists and lab technicians plan the restoration process and achieve ideal aesthetic results.
5D scanning technology allows for highly precise digital scanning of teeth and oral structures. This technology goes beyond traditional 3D scans by capturing additional information such as color, texture, and movement.
Why is it important? 5D scanning enables the creation of detailed digital models of teeth, allowing for more accurate and personalized restorations. This accelerates the treatment process and provides a more comfortable experience for the patient.
Special dental burs are used for shaping teeth with minimal preparation and for the precise placement of restorations. These burs are high-precision and sharp instruments.
Dental laboratories equipped with advanced technology play a key role in the production of restorations. These labs use CAD/CAM systems, high-precision manufacturing devices, and biocompatible materials.

Gum Contouring Real Customer Reviews
Real experiences, real smile
Wow !!! I’ve literally just had my new smile, I’m over the moon! Had a lot of work done to get the smile I’ve wanted for years but the whole team at Dentalays have been amazing! Can’t thank them enough. Every visit I was made to feel relaxed, informed of everything that was going to take place (most of which through a brilliant translator, who was with my every step of the way) I’d highly recommend Dentalays if you’re thinking about cosmetic treatments.
Dentalays Clinic is like home!!! Not only are our smiles beautiful and important to the entire staff! But who we are and what kind of people we are! I felt at home! Very warm atmosphere! In such a short time I got to know each of them very well! We are not just clients there, but they give everyone a lot of warmth and care! They want to get to know us. Which for me is very beautiful! Being there you will not lack anything! No matter how difficult the procedure you are going through, you receive a lot of support and care! Another thing that is important to me is that each of them does it with passion. The entire procedure must be done perfectly, every imperfection is corrected! We do not feel like a piggy bank! Because for them money is really secondary! The most important thing for the clinic is our well-being and health and satisfaction with the procedure performed! Nothing is done in a hurry and without discussing it with you or the Doctor! I loved these people and I know that I will go back there to spend some time with them! They are my second home and I know that I can always count on them! There are few people with such a good heart these days!
DENTALAYS I love you! Thank you for everything and I miss you already! Now I know that with a smile like the one you gave me I will find my HUSBAND 😂
See you soon ❤️❤️❤️
